| Origin |
The Beauceron dates back to the
16th century in France. They are also known as Berger de Beuce and Bas
Rouge (Red Stocking) for the markings on their legs. They were bred to
herd sheep. They are easy to train and were used during the two world
wars to do things such as detect mines and find the wounded. They are
also used as guard dogs and police dogs. |
| Description |
An excellent watchdog, the Beauceron
is a great protector and loyal to his family. He is easily trained and
will follow his master's commands. Early training is recommended. He can
be good with children and other pets, but does best when he is raised
with them as a puppy. This is a large dog and requires plenty of space
to exercise. They are energetic and are not meant to be kept indoors all
day. |
| Health |
A very healthy breed. Some problems
with bloat, hip dysplasia and eye problems. |
